Without this change when using UrlTree redirects in `urlUpdateStrategy="eager"`, the URL would get updated to the target location, then redirected. This resulted in having an additional entry in the `history` and thus the `back` button would be broken (going back would land on the URL causing a new redirect).
Additionally, there was a bug where the redirect, even without `urlUpdateStrategy="eager"`, could create a history with too many entries. This was due to kicking off a new navigation within the navigation cancelling logic. With this PR the new navigation is pushed to the next tick with a `setTimeout`, allowing the page being redirected from to be cancelled before starting a new navigation.

PR #30393 corrected behavior where Object.keys sometimes returns an `undefined` value. However, the types didn't reflect this in the code. That fix actually missed one value that could return `undefined`. This PR corrects this by casting the types to what they can be in IE 11. This ensures the code behaves as it should when this edge case comes up.

In some cases where multiple navigations happen to the same URL, the router will not process a given URL. In those cases, we fall into logic that resets state for the next navigation. One piece of this resetting is to set the `browserUrlTree` to the most recent `urlAfterRedirects`i.
However, there was bug in this logic because in some cases the `urlAfterRedirects` is a stale value. This happens any time a URL won't be processed, and the previous URL will also not be processed. This creates unpredictable behavior, not the least of which ends up being a broken `back` button.
This PR kicks off new navigations with the current value the router assumes is in the browser. All the logic around how to handle future navigations is based on this value compared to the current transition, so it's important to kick off all new navigations with the current value so in the edge case described above we don't end up with an old value being set into `browserUrlTree`.

This PR fixes an issue where IE 11 can return `undefined` in with an `Object.keys` call. Solution is to add a runtime check on the value. Based on the types being passed, this shouldn't be necessary, but is needed only for IE 11. Unit test doesn't work for this PR because it can't be replicated easily.

There was a problem with a combination of the `eager` URL update, browser `back` button, and hybrid applications. Details provided in internal ticket http://b/123667227.
This fix handles the problem by setting `router.browserUrlTree` when all conditions have failed, meaning the browser doesn't do anything with the navigation other than update internal data structures. Without this change, the problem was an old value was stored in `router.broserUrlTree` causing some new navigations to be compared to an old value and breaking future navigations.

The proposed ES dynamic import() is now supported by the Angular CLI and the
larger toolchain. This renders the `loadChildren: string` API largely
redundant, as import() is far more natural, is less error-prone, and is
standards compliant. This commit deprecates the `string` form of
`loadChildren` in favor of dynamic import().
DEPRECATION:
When defining lazy-loaded route, Angular previously offered two options for
configuring the module to be loaded, both via the `loadChildren` parameter
of the route. Most Angular developers are familiar withthe `string` form of
this API. For example, the following route definition configures Angular to
load a `LazyModule` NgModule from `lazy-route/lazy.module.ts`:
```
[{
path: 'lazy',
loadChildren: 'lazy-route/lazy.module#LazyModule',
}]
```
This "magic string" configuration was previously necessary as there was
no dynamic module loading standard on the web. This has changed with the
pending standardization of dynamic `import()` expressions, which are now
supported in the Angular CLI and in web tooling in general. `import()`
offers a more natural and robust solution to dynamic module loading. The
above example can be rewritten to use dynamic `import()`:
```
[{
path: 'lazy',
loadChildren: () => import('./lazy-route/lazy.module').then(mod => mod.LazyModule),
}]
```
This form of lazy loading offers significant advantages in terms of:
* type checking via TypeScript
* simplicity of generated code
* future potential to run natively in supporting browsers
(see: [caniuse: dynamic import()](https://caniuse.com/#feat=es6-module-dynamic-import))
As a result, Angular is deprecating the `loadChildren: string` syntax in
favor of ES dynamic `import()`. An automatic migration will run during
`ng upgrade` to convert your existing Angular code to the new syntax.

Prior to this change, if a navigation was ongoing and a new one came in, the router could get into a state where `router.currentNavigation` was `null` even though a navigation was executing. This change moves where we set the `currentNavigation` value so it's inside a `switchMap`. This solves the problem because the `finally` on the `switchMap` had been setting `currentNavigation` to `null` but the new `currentNavigation` value would have already been set. Essentially this was a timing problem and is resolved with this change.

This PR also changes the name of `EmptyOutletComponent` to `ɵEmptyOutletComponent`. This is because `ngcc` requires the node to retain the original name while dts bundler will rename the node is it's only exported using the aliases.
Example typings files:
```ts
declare class EmptyOutletComponent {
}
export {EmptyOutletComponent as ɵEmptyOutletComponent}
```
will be emitted as
```ts

When a UrlTree of root url was returned by a guard as a redirection, the
navigation was not processed. The issue came from the error handler which
incorrectly marked the router as already navigated.

The value here is unimportant on initialization since it's not looked at until the second navigation. However, sometimes in testing the `Location` service is mocked out, or the Router constructor manually called. Assuming `Location` exists in the constructor leads to test failures in `google3` therefore we initialize to a value that will not cause errors.

With #27680, a bug was fixed where multiple redirects using `eager` URL update could cause navigation to fail. However, that fix introduced a problem where with `skipLocationChange` enabled, the URL tree rendered was not properly stored for reference. This specifically caused an issue with named router outlets and subsequent navigations not being recognized.
This PR stores the correct `UrlTree` for reference with later navigations. It fixes the regression introdued with #27680.

Navigating to a route such as `/users`, you may get redirected to `/login`. Previously, if you go then route to `/users` again the URL will end up showing `/users` after the second redirect. This only happened in `UrlUpdateStrategy="eager"`. This is now fixed so after the second redirect, the URL shows the correct page.

This option means guards and resolvers will ignore changes when a provided predicate function returns `false`. This supports use cases where an application needs to ignore some param updates but not others. For example, changing a sort param in the URL might need to be ignored, whereas changing the a `project` param might require re-run of guards and resolvers.

This option means guards and resolvers will ignore changes to matrix parameters. Guards and resolvers will be rerun when the path changes, when path parameters change, or when query parameters change.
The primary use case for such a mode is when updating the UI and getting the URL to be in sync with local changes. For example, if displaying a sortable table, changing the sort direction is often handled by the table itself. But you would want to update the URL to be in sync with what's being displayed to the user. As long as the table sort direction is stored as a matrix parameter, you can use this option to update the URL without causing the overhead of re-running guards and resolvers.
